A Bit of Babylonstoren

There is no better end to a leisurely stroll through a beautiful garden than a glass of wine, I must say.

WHITE:

• Babylonstoren Chenin Blanc (2013): Salty guava, orange rind, acidic end, very light, like sucking on a baby orange.

• Babylonstoren Mourvedre Rose (2013):  Fresh cherries on a croissant with salty butter, cherry pith.

• Babylonstoren Viognier (2013): 15% first fill French. Litchis, spiced jasmine, apricot jam, apricot pips, light but substantial. (*)

• Babylonstoren Chardonnay (2012): 12 months first fill French. Orange blossom, butter & marmalade, soft, lurking acid at end, pithy.

RED:

• Babylonstoren Shiraz (2012): 18 months first fill French. Coffee caramel, lurking pepper, soft with slight tannins.
